Hollow Promise

A promise that is made without any intention of being followed through with. Often used just to shut someone up.

The receptionist's claim of Milo before lunch time was nothing more than a hollow promise.

Promise piercing

A piercing on the third finger of the left hand to hold a diamond that shows that a girl is committed to a boyfriend.

That's not a ring she's wearing. It's a promise piercing. That's a rock stuck in her finger like a nose stud. I wish a girl could show that kind of commitment to me. I'm lucky if I don't get stood up for tacos at Tacky's.

I promise I won't tell

The biggest lie anyone has ever told; everyone has used this at least once

Person 1- I can't tell you
Person 2-I promise I won't tell
Person 1- ok but you can't tell anyone
Person 2- I won't
..later on
Person 3- what did they say?
Person 2- yup he likes you

purple prose

Writing that is so pretentious and extravagant that it sounds like the author is full of themselves and distracts the reader from the actual story itself.

The Creepypasta "Blood Whistle" has so much purple prose that it makes it look like the author has never played a violent video game in his life.

Pinky Promise

This is a promise made between very close friends and if it isn't kept all hope for furthuring your friednship to the future I LOST DEAD BURIED GONE!
You both lock your little fingers together and say "Pinky Promise", me and a ex did this and we split so erm it proves that its true yeah! because the promise wasn't kept and we don't see each other anymore!

Chris:"I will save you a double lolly!"
Kat: "Pinky Promise?"
Chris: "Pinky Promise!"
*Chris eats a whole bag of Double Lollie's and forgets about Kat, therefore Kat forgets about Chris...COMPLETLEY! lol*
